White, weighing in at almost 200 pounds and wearing only a long-sleeved shirt in freezing temperatures, faced a 2000-pound beast, whose much warmer hide and hoodie-like neck fur gave him the advantage to outlast his master. Neither made an aggressive move.
Tension grew as onlookers outside the pen watched the two opponents. Man and beast both knew there was something man was waiting on beast to do — walk through a specific gate. Ten minutes later, White shrugged and walked away.
Bison farmers say you can lead a bison anywhere — as long as it's where the bison wants to go.
White said the only way to get his 15 head of bison to cooperate is to treat them gently, adding that he would try another day to get the bull back into the correct pen. He shut the gate and wired it together so the bull would not get any ideas about going where it should not go.
After the stare-down, White sat inside one of his family member's farmhouses next to his 40-acre farm, Boundary Line Bison Ranch. He started raising bison 15 years ago, ordering his first four from a relative of Gene Autry, the famous singing cowboy from the 1930-50s.
White's attraction to raising bison possibly arose from his genetic makeup. As a child, he once lived with his family at his grandmother's house on Hughes Street in Piedmont. His grandmother was Native American, family members told him, and when he watched cowboy movies at her house, he always pulled for the Native Americans to win, he said.
White, an employee of Anniston Army Depot, has maintained a keen interest in Native American culture. When he was in his 20s, he started attending Native American events around the region, traveling as far away as Oklahoma to attended powwows and festivals. In the late 1990s, he planned the annual Native American festivals in his hometown, and he has recently been asked to lead the effort to resume Piedmont's annual festival.
His interest, in what he describes as a way of life, is not subsiding. When he retires in the next year, he hopes to develop a marketing plan to sell bison for breeding and slaughtering, at which time he plans to increase his herd.
Another part of White's Native American heritage is revealed as he talks about food. He loves to cook with bison meat and touts its health benefits. It is mild in flavor but low in fat and cholesterol and has more iron in it than beef, he says.
"It tastes like beef with the benefits of venison," he said. "Bison liver is very good, as it tastes a lot like chicken liver. Bison heart and tongue are good, too."
White also loves other Native American foods, such as fry bread and corn soup.
"You can use bison meat just like you use beef," he said.
Two of his favorite dishes are bison chili and bison pot roast.
White is hoping to find a local slaughterhouse he can work with so that he can make use of every part of the bison.
"The heads can be decorated and sold for use in Indian ceremonies," he said. "The bones are carved, and the tails are used in sweat lodges."
The sweat lodges, White explained, are part of a Native American cleansing ceremony in which a sauna is created beneath a rounded, teepee-like tent of hide. They place hot stones in a pit under it and sprinkle water on the stones with a bison tail to create steam.
"It's one of many important ceremonies," he said.
Note: The term "bison" is the true name of what is mistakenly referred to as the American buffalo. However, the only true buffalo are the water buffalo of Asia and the Cape buffalo of Africa.
White's Native American Recipes
Bison Pot Roast
Bison roast
Vegetable oil
White wine
Salt and pepper
Assorted vegetables (carrots, potatoes, onions) if desired
Salt and pepper a two-pound buffalo roast. Place roast in ¼ inch of oil heated to 350 F in an electric skillet. Brown on all sides. Lower the temperature to 250 F and cook for 2 ½ hours.
Add in a little white wine and carrots, potatoes and onions, if desired. Cook about 40 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
Corn Soup
½ pound of chopped ham
1 large onion, quartered
3 sliced carrots
4 stalks celery, chopped
5 cups water
1 can cream corn
1 can whole kernel corn
1 can hominy
1 can black beans
Combine first five ingredients in a large pot and boil for 40 minutes on medium heat. Add in canned vegetables. Simmer for 45 more minutes.
Fry Bread
Makes four servings
1 cup unbleached flour
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ cup water
Vegetable oil for frying
Flour for hands and countertop
Sift dry ingredients together. Pour water into a bowl with the flour mixture and stir. The dough will stick together. Mix the dough with flowered hands, but only until it forms a smooth ball. Flour the outside of the ball and cut into four pieces. Pat the dough on a floured surface and make a disc of about six inches.
Heat the oil to about 1 ¾ inch. Place a disc of bread into the oil and fry for three minutes on each side. Remove and dry on a paper towel.
Fry bread can be used with ground bison meat seasoned with taco spices. Serve each piece of fry bread with shredded lettuce, tomato, cheese and ½ cup of the taco meat.
Fry bread can be used as a dessert by sprinkling powdered sugar on top.

TELLURIDE – Although the footwear of choice for many Telluride Bluegrass Festivarians is minimal, when the sun goes down and the temperatures drop thousands of festival toes will stay warm thanks to a visiting clan of sock peddlers. In their mission to "spread the wool," the self-proclaimed merino wool fanatics at the new Steamboat Springs-based sock company point6 will be camped at the festival grounds doling out free socks for dancing feet.
The new company, which is an online-only retailer, is making this weekend's Bluegrass Festival one of its first stops on a country-wide tour designed to introduce fun-loving, outdoor-playing folks to their new merino socks.
"Telluride Bluegrass is the perfect kick-off event because it encompasses the fun, outdoor-loving, adventure-seeking audience we're trying to connect with," says Betsy Seabert, point6's Marketing and Sales Shepherdess, of this weekend's "official launch."
The festival allows the new company to make good on its mission to "spread the wool," as point6 will have a tent in the vendor area from which they will be distributing free socks. The company's Bluegrass presence also gives it some credence as a more sustainability-minded retailer. With socks made of all-natural, renewable fibers, and sold only online, point6 doesn't create the carbon-footprint of traditional retail stores. Additionally, point6 will be distributing reusable tote bags for a small donation to support the sustainability initiatives at the festival, with all proceeds donated to the Telluride Foundation's Good Neighbor Fund. The company has also recently signed on as members of 1% for the Planet program, where members donate 1 percent of their annual revenues to environmental organizations.
The company's "grassroots" marketing efforts are centered around introducing their products in the real world and meeting their customers face-to-face, and then using the Internet as its worldwide storefront. Limiting sales to the point6 website allows the retailer to pass savings on to its customers, which can be 30 percent less than similar products sold in stores.
The name point6 is a reference to the ability of merino to maintain an optimal body temperature of 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. The company exclusively uses merino in its extensive line of men's and women's outdoor, sports and lifestyle socks. Merino wool, which has undergone Mother Nature's own cycle of product testing – evolution – on the backs of high-altitude dwelling merino sheep, is finer and longer than standard wool fibers and is thus softer and more comfortable than traditional wool. Merino has a natural crimp that adds to its insulating properties, and point6's compact spinning process involves twisting the yarn in a way that removes more air from between the fibers, creating a more compact and ultimately more durable yarn. Because of this process, point6 socks literally have more merino per inch than other merino products on the market.
"Compact spinning is an expensive process, so other companies are content to use small percentages of compact spun yarns in their products," point6's Seabert says. "We use compact spun yarns exclusively. Once spun, our yarns are knit with finer gauge needles, producing more stitches – and more value- per inch, to create an exceptionally soft, strong and streamlined product."
Look for the point6 banner in the Telluride Bluegrass Festival's vendor area to get your pair of free socks; to see the company's complete line, which includes men's and women's cycling, running, skiing, snowboarding, hiking, and lifestyle socks, visit www.point6.com.

Ithaca College Concerts
|Theodora Hanslowe, Mezzo-Soprano
|Saturday, February 13, 2010
8:15 p.m., Ford Hall
with Dennis Giauque, piano
Music of Hahn and Rossini, plus Mahler Songs and a set of cabaret and show tunes.
Mezzo-soprano Theodora Hanslowe, a native of Ithaca and graduate of Cornell University, has met with critical praise for her "warm, supple, and richly expressive voice, considerable acting ability, and commanding stage presence" (Washington Post), and for her "high vocal quality, personality, and joy in performing that is impossible to ignore" (Salzburger Nachrichten).
Theodora Hanslowe sang the part of Flora in La Traviata at the Metropolitan Opera during the 2008-09 season. It was a role that she reprised for the Met's opening night gala, which will be broadcast live in movie theaters internationally. She opened her 2008-9 season by performing the demanding title role in the final performance of Santa Fe Opera's American premiere of Saariaho's Adriana Mater to resounding acclaim. Also last year, she sang as soloist in Haydn's Lord Nelson Mass and Vaughan Williams's Serenade to Music, both with the Columbus Symphony Orchestra; in Hahn's Tomorrow, with Doug Varone and Dancers (Joyce Theatre, New York); and in Dillon's Still Point, in concert at Mannes School of Music. During the summer of 2009 she appears as soloist with the Salt Bay Chamberfest in the world premiere of songs by Pulitzer Prize nominee Tamar Muskal. In the 2009-10 season she again returns to the roster of the Metropolitan Opera, sings as soloist in Messiah with the Nashville Symphony, and performs in recital at Ithaca College.
Since her debut with the Metropolitan Opera as Rosina in Il barbiere di Siviglia (The Barber of Seville), her subsequent roles for the company include Unulfo in Rodelinda, Isabella in L'italiana in Algeri, Bersi in Andrea Chenier, Tebaldo in Don Carlo, Dorabella in Così fan tutte, the title role in La Cenerentola, Nicklausse in Les Contes d'Hoffmann, and Stephano in Roméo et Juliette.
A Global Opera Star
Hanslowe has performed in opera houses throughout the world. She recreated the title role in Massenet's Chérubin with the Opéra de Monte-Carlo, where the opera had its premiere. Her debut at the Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires was as the Komponist in Ariadne auf Naxos. She has sung the title role in La Cenerentola with L'Opéra de Montréal, the Semperoper in Dresden, the Deutsche Oper am Rhein in Düsseldorf, and Florida Grand Opera. She has appeared as Rosina with Festival de Musique de Strasbourg, Florida Grand Opera, Glimmerglass Opera, Opera Theatre of Saint Louis, and the New Israeli Opera.
Equally comfortable on the concert stage, Theodora Hanslowe has been soloist in Britten's Spring Symphony with André Previn and the Boston Symphony Orchestra; Beethoven's Mass in C with Michael Tilson Thoma and the San Francisco Symphony, Beethoven's Missa Solemnis and Symphony No. 9 with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra; Mozart's Requiem with the Indianapolis Symphony and Raymond Leppard; performances and a recording of Bach's Mass in B Minor with Boston Baroque and Martin Pearlman on the Telarc label; Mahler's Symphony No. 8 with the Bilbao Symphony Orchestra; and as soloist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra for the Symphony Hall Centennial Gala.
Hanslowe has performed several times with the Cincinnati and Indianapolis symphonies, and made her Carnegie Hall debut singing Berlioz's Les Nuits d'été with the St. Louis Symphony and Hans Vonk. She has performed Ravel's Shéhérazade with the Huntsville Symphony Orchestra, Mozart's Mass in C Minor with the Columbus Symphony Orchestra and the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, and Mendelssohn's Elijah with the Cathedral Choral Society at the National Cathedral in Washington.
She is also active in chamber music and recital. She was invited by Carnegie Hall to make her New York recital debut on the Weill Recital Hall series. She is a regular guest artist with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, with whom she performed two cantatas of Hanns Eisler ("gorgeous singing with superb control", wrote the New York Times) and a special performance of works by Bernstein, Schuman, and Schickele. Hanslowe also appeared in recital at the Musashino Cultural Foundation in Tokyo and at the Bard Festival at Alice Tully Hall in New York City.
Her repertoire includes Brahms' Viola Songs, Ravel's Chansons Madécasses, and the chamber arrangement of Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde.

Klitschko retains titles in overwhelming fashion by stopping Wach
HAMBURG, Germany — Three thoughts from Wladimir Klitschko's win over Mariusz Wach…
1. Another one bites the dust. Wach's surprising chin aside (more on that below), this was another blowout. Klitschko won 120-107 (twice) and 119-109, with the judge who gave Wach a round clearly scoring out of sympathy for the battered Pole. Save for one solid right hand in the fifth round, Wach was a human punching bag, absorbing power shot after power shot from Klitschko, who once again came to the ring in superior shape.
Wach was the latest undefeated, would-be contender to fall to Klitschko, who retained his titles and is, undisputedly, the best heavyweight of this era. And there are plenty more victims waiting in line: Tyson Fury, David Price, Seth Mitchell, just to name a few. The problem is none of these potential opponents has been tested at anywhere close to Klitschko's level. The ideal situation is to start matching them up and hope someone emerges as a realistic challenge. Sadly, the payday that comes with a Klitschko fight likely means most will continue to fight inferior competition and take a beating when the time comes.
2. Wach has a granite chin. About that: Klitschko wasn't just hitting Wach. He was lining him up and teeing off. Klitschko's right hand is regarded as the most potent in boxing and he tattooed Wach with it repeatedly throughout the fight … and Wach kept coming. The 6-foot-7 Wach didn't muster much of an offense, of course. He spent most of the 36 minutes in the ring eating shots. But you have to give him credit: Few have gone the distance with Klitschko and no one has taken as much punishment.
3. Farewell, Emanuel. Johnathan Banks — a longtime member of Klitschko's team who was picked to fill the position normally occupied by the late Emanuel Steward — performed well as Klitschko's chief cornerman, drawing praise for his advice from Klitschko after the fight. Indeed, it was an emotionally charged week for Klitschko, who in interviews declined to get too deep about his feelings over the sudden loss of Steward, his longtime friend and trainer. But those in Klitschko's camp said the loss weighed on the champ, who will now soldier on without the man who shaped his career.
Klitschko's last words to me in the ring: "I love you, Emanuel. I'll see you again someday."

Central High > West Canaan (ESPN Polls)
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or follow us on Facebook. Thanks for visiting!
The wonderful ladies of ESPN's "Play Ball with Amanda and Melissa" podcast have a nifty little poll going on, one that pits fictional sports teams against each other. There are some awesome match ups like the Friday Night Lights TV show team versus the FNL movie team or the Bad News Bears team against The Sandlot team. Great stuff.
I do have one issue, however: Folks are voting for the Varsity Blues football team over the incredibly awesome team from Wildcats, otherwise known as the battle of Central High and West Canaan High. Unfortunately, when it comes to the voting differential in this particular category, memories are obviously short.
No other explanation fits, really.

NewsPress Release: 10/10/01
MARLBORO, VT - Selections from well-known contemporary artist Apo Torosyan's "Bread Series" and "Immigration Installation" are being displayed in Marlboro's Drury Gallery through October 25. Torosyan works with bread, cord, dirt, and other found objects to make "wall sculptures" that detail the process of immigration and social integration.
Torosyan was born and raised by an Armenian father and Greek mother in Istanbul, Turkey, in the old Byzantine city of Constantinople. From an early age, he has worked on canvas, experimenting with texture. "The surface of a stained and weathered wall; the bark of a tree; an old manuscript; a mosaic; a fresco; a Hellenistic or Etruscan temple or an icon all fascinated me," says Torosyan.
His uniquely textural work springs from his ethnic background, which he uses as a source of creativity. "The bread, which is the staff of life, was taken from my ancestors. It represents victims of oppression. They died in starvation, including my grandparents. I immortalize the bread within my concepts. It is an organic metaphor. It is the cycle of life."
Torosyan earned a B.F.A. and M.F.A. from the Academy of Fine Arts in 1968, and emigrated to the USA in the same year. After establishing a successful visual design company, he sold his business in 1986 in order to dedicate his time to his art. Since then, he has had countless solo and group shows all over the USA and Europe, and his work has appeared in private and corporate collections in Armenia, Canada, France, Greece, Spain, Turkey, and the USA.
Admission is free and open to the public. The gallery, which is
fully accessible, is open from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday through Friday.

New Owners - Excellent Value – Since the new owners took over late in 2007, this place is wonderful! My husband is not a big fan of Mexican cuisine but is eager to go back again. Excellent bean dip, chips & salsa. Tortillas made fresh while you are there. Large menu with some unusual offerings - prices are good and portions are generous. Staff was friendly and efficient and willing to answer any questions that we had. The flan was so rich and creamy! Looking forward to the fried ice cream next time. They still offer live music, too.
Bland Fish Tacos – Live music on a wednesday night which was cool. Great service. Tasteless fish tacos and carnitas. Great chips and salsa. Will not go back.

The NMathTM .NET math and statistics libraries from CenterSpace Software provides numerical components for financial, engineering, and scientific applications on the .NET platform:
All NMath routines are callable from any .NET language, including C#, Visual Basic.NET, and F#.
For many computations, NMath uses the Intel® Math Kernel Library (MKL), which contains highly-optimized, extensively-threaded versions of the C and FORTRAN public domain computing packages known as the BLAS (Basic Linear Algebra Subroutines) and LAPACK (Linear Algebra PACKage). This gives NMath routines accuracy you can trust, and performance levels comparable to C or Fortran. Our state of the art, object-oriented interfaces are easy to use and leverage the full power of the .NET platform.
For even greater acceleration, the Premium Editions of NMath and NMath Stats leverage the power of the NVIDIA CUDA™ architecture for GPU-accelerated mathematics on the .NET platform. NMath Premium automatically detects the presence of a CUDA-enabled GPU at runtime and seamlessly redirects appropriate computations to it. The library can be configured to specify which problems should be solved by the GPU, and which by the CPU. If a GPU is not present at runtime, the computation automatically falls back to the CPU without error. GPU acceleration provides a 2-4x speed-up for many NMath functions. With large data sets running on high-performance GPUs, the speed-up can exceed 10x.

text: I have a Nordyne condensing gas furnace that cycles on and off while trying to reach the temperature that I set at the thermostat. For example, when the room temperature is at 62 and I increase the thermostat temperature to 68, the furnace will kick on and then it will turn off after a short while. After a couple of minutes it will kick back on and continue on and off until the room finally reaches the set temperature. The on and off cycling happens at different time intervals - it could be on for 2 minutes, off 2 minutes, on 10 minutes, off 2 minutes. I recently had the flame sensor cleaned, but no change in the cycling. I also change the filters regularly. I have a digital thermostat (White-Rodgers). I don't seem to have this cycling problem in the summer when the air conditioning is running.

Seminars & Conferences
PSP Guest Speakers (Free Of Charge):
The PSP Books Committee are inviting you to hear from guest speaker, Roger C. Schonfeld, Program Director for Libraries, Users, and Scholarly Practices at Ithaka S+R at its next meeting on Friday, April 11th from 12:30-1:30pm at the AAP New York office(and available via webinar).
Roger will discuss the newly released Ithaka S+R US Library Survey 2013.
What vision do America's academic library leaders have for their institutions? How would they allocate their budgets if more funds were made available to them? How aligned do they perceive themselves to be with their colleges and universities, and with their immediate supervisors? What do they see coming for acquisitions and collections? In this presentation, Roger Schonfeld will address these questions with a snapshot of American academic library leadership from the Ithaka S+R Library Survey 2013.
The Library Survey 2013 had 499 responses from library deans and directors, or 33% of the population surveyed, allowing for robust analysis by institution type and other stratifications. It offers comparisons against the Library Survey 2010 on many key questions, permitting an analysis of how the views of this group have evolved over the past three years. In comparative analysis with the Ithaka S+R US Faculty Survey 2012, this presentation will also be able to examine the degree of alignment, or mismatch, between library leaders and faculty members.
The PSP Journals Committee are inviting you to hear from guest speaker, H. Frederick Dylla, Executive Director and CEO, AIP at its next meeting on Wednesday, April 23rd from 12:00-1:00pm at the AAP New York office (and available via webinar).
Fred will discuss the new service, FundRef, offered by CrossRef.
FundRef is a new service offered by CrossRef for the entire scholarly publishing community. The service collects key information about the funding sources of published scholarly research. Prior to the launch of FundRef, this information was difficult to discern because it was not collected by publishers in any standard format, and it was not included with the standard bibliographic metadata that publishers submit to CrossRef for identification and discovery of journal content. The FundRef prototype was first tested by CrossRef in yearlong pilot project involving seven publishers and four funding agencies. The pilot was completed by May 2013, and FundRef was rolled out to the entire scholarly publishing community in mid-2013.
Full participation in FundRef by the publishing community will make this discovery mechanism increasingly useful for publishers, researchers, readers, libraries and funding agencies. Because of its success in identifying funding sources, FundRef metadata has been folded into the publishing community's Clearinghouse for the Open Research of the United States (CHORUS) project, currently in the pilot phase. CHORUS provides access to articles tagged as receiving funding support from US federal agencies.
The guest speaker talks are free of charge but you will need to sign up as space is limited. You can sign up to hear the talk in-person or via webinar. If you or a colleague wishes to attend, please contact Sara Pinto at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Marc Cassar, Publisher, AIP will provide the attendees with an in-depth overview of their new taxonomy that will serve the physics community.
Thursday, June 12th — 12:00-1:30 pm
Funding For Research!
The second seminar will feature Carol Ann Meyer, Business Development & Marketing, Cross Ref who will present Fund Ref and how it helps the research community to have a standard way to determine which agencies are providing funding and getting access to this information, as we are looking to better serve the author/researcher community. Carol will also give an insight into CrossRef's Prospect Terms and Conditions Library which allows researchers to use a standard API to retrieve the full text of scholarly documents for text and data mining (TDM).
Tuesday, July 22nd — 12:00-1:30 pm
MOOCs, Manuscripts & Micropayments!!
Part three of our seminar series will feature SIPX and their outstanding contextual licensing technology in helping professors, libraries and faculty create a meaningful course pack within a tight budget while managing the copyright in an effective manner. SIPX (pronounced "sip-ex") is a new technology start up out of Stanford University, which allows professors to assign readings from within the university Learning Management System, checking against library holdings and providing real-time pricing for non-holding items. SIPX services all types of online education, including MOOCs.

MONTROSE – The president of the company holding Intermountain Resources in receivership says he wants to see the company up to full speed as much as anybody.
"Having grown up in eastern Colorado in a small community, I understand that 100 jobs is a lot of jobs," said Cordes and Company president, Ed Cordes.
"Then there are another 20 to 40 peripheral jobs, not to mention what the community gains…we have an important responsibility to do what we can, despite the lumber economy, to keep that thing going."
Intermountain Resources, according to the Denver Post, is one of the largest sawmills in the state, employing about 100 people and paying about $10 million to subcontractors last year alone. The Montrose Economic Development Council estimates that Intermountain Resources "pumps more than $20 million a year into the local economy through salaries to employees, purchases from suppliers and contracts with truckers and others."
Cordes said his company is "fervently endeavoring" to find a financial solution for Intermountain, including finding investors, getting concessions on contracts, finding "reasonably priced" timber, and looking for help from the state and federal government.
Cordes said a state contract to process timber downed by spruce beetle kill-off could help the mill, but nothing's been decided yet, even though he says the Montrose mill is the largest of three mills on the Western Slope. The other two are Delta Timber Co. in Delta and Doug Jones Sawmill in Grand Junction.
"We see the mill as the solution to the beetle kill [timber] and we process a substantial amount of beetle kill – the only place in the state – but we haven't secured a part of that yet," he said.
The mill shut down in May, Cordes said, and reopened a few weeks later after his company was court-appointed to hold it in receivership. Receivership is a form of bankruptcy in which a company can avoid liquidation by reorganizing with the help of a court-appointed trustee, in this case, Cordes and Co.
The sawmill is struggling because of declining markets, Cordes said.
"Suffice to say that the troubled lumber market over the last couple of years was such that mills didn't get as much for their lumber," he said. "Forty to 45 percent of lumber mills have shut down, and because of the housing crisis, people are not building houses anymore."
About 80 people are still working at the sawmill to process timber already there, Cordes said, while the search for affordable timber and other solutions continue.
Cordes said he has hope for the deal to process beetle-kill wood for the U.S. Forest Service, and talks are ongoing.
"Their job is to enforce contracts the government enters into, and we have gotten the attention of Forest Service personnel in both our local and national office in Washington D.C.," he said. "We're working on it."
The Montrose plant is "fairly efficient" and has a great workforce, Cordes said, and he's happy it's operating, even without a permanent solution.
"How long we will be able to keep operating is in part a function of labor price and reasonably priced timber," he said.
Work to process timber already in the Intermountain yard should go on another couple of weeks, Cordes said, and that his company is working with MEDC to put pressure on Colorado member of Congress to find a solution.
"I feel for the folks who are employees working under this uncertainty, and I understand the gravity of the situation," he said. "I also feel for the unsecured creditors who got caught up in the shut down, the loggers and haulers and trade vendors who haven't gotten paid because of the shut down."
Between 200 and 300 unsecured creditors of Intermountain Resources still have not been paid, Cordes said.
But despite the economy, Cordes said he will do everything he can to make sure the sawmill remains viable and become profitable again.
"The best case scenario is between either the current owner, who is looking for the opportunity to restructure, or a new owner," he said, "and the probability of that occurring is enhanced if we can avail ourselves of some of the federal or state programs available so that we could get a permanent owner back in the plant, maintain employment, and resolve beetle kill properly around the state."
The worst case would be to not find a "permanent solution" and just hold on until the lumber market gets better, a scenario Cordes doesn't accept.
"Right now, that second scenario isn't on our agenda," he said.

The California Backyard Orchard
Harvest season begins
Mid-autumn in the San Joaquin Valley indicates the beginning of the olive harvest. Lindcove is primarily known for it's citrus blocks, but has a small planting of Manzanillo and Sevillano olive trees. Olives are generally alternate bearing, and Dr. Carol Lovatt (UC Riverside) and Dr. Elizabeth Fichtner (Tulare County Farm Advisor) have been experimenting with plant growth regulators to improve flowering for the off years, in efforts to improve crop yields. At harvest, fruit from each tree is picked into individual bins and weighed.

Statement by Planned Parenthood Federation of America on Guttmacher Institutes 15th Census of U.S. Abortion Providers
The Guttmacher study on the frequency of abortion in the United States highlights the need for our leaders to ensure that all women and their partners have the information and affordable birth control options they need to prevent unintended pregnancy. The first step we can take as a nation is to increase access to affordable contraception. While many factors contribute to the abortion rate in the United States, this countrys very high rate of unintended pregnancy is the most important one of all.
The most effective way to prevent unintended pregnancy, and reduce the need for abortion, is to improve access to affordable birth control. The Guttmacher report underscores the importance of making birth control available without co-pays and other types of out-of-pocket charges, expanding access to affordable birth control and enabling women to choose the method that works best for them. Thats why Planned Parenthood has launched Birth Control Matters to advocate making prescription birth control available without co-pays through the new health care law.
Planned Parenthood, whose doctors and nurses see three million patients each year, provides education and information to millions of women and teens, both in person and online. Planned Parenthood does more than any organization in the United States to help women and their partners prevent unintended pregnancy through family planning and sex education. We invite people of good will with divergent views on legal abortion to work with Planned Parenthood to ensure that every woman has the information and access to birth control she needs to sharply reduce the rate of unintended pregnancy and the need for abortion.
Planned Parenthood is the nation's leading sexual and reproductive health care provider and advocate. We believe that everyone has the right to choose when or whether to have a child, and that every child should be wanted and loved. Planned Parenthood affiliates operate more than 820 health centers nationwide, providing medical services and sexuality education for millions of women, men, and teenagers each year. We also work with allies worldwide to ensure that all women and men have the right and the means to meet their sexual and reproductive health care needs.

Court Opinions
CRIMINAL PRACTICE: Child Molestation, Effective Assistance of Counsel
Alert: The defendant did not show that his counsel was ineffective in explaining the strength of the evidence against him and conveying all plea bargain offers from the State to him.
Subject Matter Index: Child molestation conviction, affirmed, as defendant did not show that his counsel was ineffective; trial court did not clearly err in crediting defense counsel's testimony that he fully explained evidence and strength of State's case to defendant, he conveyed all plea bargain offers from State to defendant, and defendant rejected those offers.
Headnote: The Court of Appeals affirmed James Butler's child molestation conviction, holding that he did not show that his counsel was ineffective in explaining the strength of the State's evidence, leading to Butler proceeding to trial instead of accepting a plea offer. The trial court did not clearly err in crediting defense counsel's testimony that he fully explained the evidence and the strength of the State's case to Butler, that he conveyed all plea bargain offers from the State to Butler, and that Butler rejected those offers.
Text: McFadden, Christopher J., JudgeJames Butler appeals from his child molestation conviction, raising a claim of ineffective assistance of trial counsel. Because he has failed to show either deficient performance or prejudice, we affirm.
Butler was indicted on two counts of child molestation, one count alleging that he had placed his mouth on the victim's breast and the other count alleging that he had placed his hand on the victim's vagina. Butler pled not guilty to the charges, and the case proceeded to a jury trial. At trial, the state presented evidence showing that while an 8-year-old girl was at Butler's house, he approached her, put his mouth on her breasts and touched her clothed vaginal area. The state's evidence included photographs showing hemorrhaging or red marks around the child's breasts, a forensic interview of the victim stating that Butler had touched her breasts, and expert testimony that Butler's DNA and an enzyme contained in saliva were found on the child's breasts.
Butler presented a good character defense, introducing testimony from seven witnesses about his good reputation in the community. Butler also testified in his own defense, stating that the child and her grandmother frequently visited his house, and that on the date in question the girl hugged him around the neck and he kissed her on the cheek. Butler denied kissing the child's breasts or touching her vaginal area, but claimed that the girl kept pulling her shirt up and asking him to kiss it, so he did kiss the shirt. On cross-examination of the state's experts, Butler also elicited testimony to support the defense theory that saliva and DNA could have inadvertently been transferred from the child's cheek to her chest.
The jury found Butler guilty of child molestation for having put his mouth on the child's breast as charged in count one of the indictment, but could not reach a unanimous verdict as to the allegation in count two that he had touched the child's vagina. The trial court entered judgment of conviction and imposed a 15-year sentence as to count one, and declared a mistrial as to count two. The court subsequently granted the state's motion for entry of an order of nolle prosequi as to count two.
Butler filed a motion for new trial, claiming ineffective assistance of trial counsel. After a hearing at which both trial counsel and Butler testified, the trial court entered an order finding that counsel's testimony was more credible than Butler's testimony and denying the motion. Butler appeals.
Butler argues that the trial court erred in denying the motion for a new trial because his trial counsel was ineffective in failing to properly explain the strength of the evidence against him, which caused him to proceed to trial instead of accepting a plea offer from the state. The argument is without merit.
To prevail on a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel under Strickland v. Washington, 466 U. S. 668 (104 SC 2052, 80 LE2d 674) (1984), the defendant must show that counsel's performance was deficient and that the deficient performance so prejudiced the defendant that there is a reasonable likelihood that, but for counsel's errors, the outcome of the trial would have been different. In the context of the plea bargain process, a defendant may prove that trial counsel was ineffective by showing that counsel failed to inform him that an offer to plead guilty had been made and failed to advise him of the consequences of the choices confronting him. To establish prejudice in the context of the plea bargain process, the defendant must show that, but for counsel's deficient performance, there is a reasonable probability that he would have accepted the [s]tate's plea offer. The requisite reasonable probability standard demands a showing that there is some indication that the defendant was amenable to the offer made by the state.
(Citations and punctuation omitted.) Arnold v. State, 315 Ga. App. 831, 832 (728 SE2d 342) (2012).
At the motion for new trial hearing, trial counsel testified that he held approximately ten to fifteen meetings with Butler prior to trial. He testified that it was his job to assess the strength of the state's case and then communicate that information to the client, particularly if the evidence is overwhelming. After learning of the DNA evidence, he had intensive meetings with Butler at which he gave him a copy of the DNA report, told him that they had problems due to that evidence and explained the seriousness of the case. Counsel outlined the evidence against Butler, and told him that they would have a difficult time at trial explaining how his DNA and saliva, as well as bruises and marks, got on the child's chest.
Counsel engaged in plea negotiations with the state and passed along all plea offers to Butler. He testified that the best offer made by the state was for a ten-year sentence, with five years to be served in prison. Counsel conveyed that offer to Butler, but he rejected it. According to counsel, Butler never wavered from his claim of innocence and, consistent with that claim, he had no desire to accept any of the state's offers to plead guilty to something he maintained did not do. Counsel explained to Butler the possibility of maintaining his claim of innocence by entering a plea under North Carolina v. Alford, 400 U.S. 25 (91 SC 160, 27 LE2d 162) (1970), but it was not seriously considered because "in [Butler's] assessment of facts . . . he . . . would've been volunteering for prison time for something [about which] he professed his innocence."
Butler's testimony at the hearing conflicted with trial counsel's testimony. Butler claimed that he only met with his attorney three times; that counsel did not explain the evidence to him; that his attorney never told him about the plea offer of ten years to serve five, but did tell him that he had rejected a seven-year plea offer from the state; that if he had been told of that offer he would have accepted it; and that he was not informed of the possibility of an Alford plea, but if he had been told of it he would not have gone to trial.
It was the function of the trial court at the motion for new trial hearing to determine witness credibility and resolve any conflicts in the testimony. Mobley v. State, 264 Ga. 854, 856 (2) (452 SE2d 500) (1995). In its role as factfinder, the trial court was authorized to believe the testimony of trial counsel and reject any conflicting testimony from Butler. See Jividen v. State, 256 Ga. App. 642, 645 (1) (b) (569 SE2d 589) (2002); Carroll v. State, 252 Ga. App. 142, 147 (4) (a) (555 SE2d 807) (2001). And on appeal, we must accept the trial court's factual findings and credibility determinations unless they are clearly erroneous. Glover v. State, 291 Ga. 152, 154 (2) (728 SE2d 2210 (2012). In this case, there is no clear error given trial counsel's testimony establishing that, contrary to Butler's claims, he fully explained the evidence and the strength of the state's case to Butler, he conveyed all plea bargain offers from the state to Butler, and Butler rejected those offers. See Trammell v. State, 262 Ga. App. 786, 787 (2) (a) (586 SE2d 693) (2003) (trial court's determination that counsel did not fail to communicate plea bargain offer to appellant was a matter of credibility of witnesses, and we are not authorized to disturb it). The fact that Butler now regrets his decision to reject the state's negotiated plea offer and exercise his right to a jury trial affords no basis for relief. See Arnold, supra at 833; Baskin v. State, 267 Ga. App. 711, 713-714 (1) (a) (600 SE2d 599) (2004).
Judgment affirmed. Barnes, P.J., and Adams, J., concur.
Trial Judge: Tommy R. Hankinson, Spalding Superior Court.,
Attorneys: J. Scott Key, Decatur, and Margaret Flynt (J. Scott Key PC), McDonough, for appellant. Scott Ballard, District Attorney, Thomaston, and Jeremy Hayes (District Attorney's Office), Fayetteville, for appellee.,

Congressional Leaders Join Planned Parenthood in Calling For Replacement of Anti-Family Planning Advocate To Head Nations Family Planning Program
Senators Clinton and Murray, Congresswomen Slaughter and DeGette, Join Planned Parenthood to Denounce Orrs Appointment
Washington, DC On a conference call with reporters today, Senators Hillary Clinton (D-NY) and Patty Murray (D-WA), along with Congresswomen Louise Slaughter (D-NY) and Diana DeGette (D-CO), joined Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) President Cecile Richards and Mary Jane Gallagher from the National Family Planning and Reproductive Health Association (NFPRHA) to denounce the appointment of anti-family planning, anti-sex education hardliner Susan Orr to the position of acting deputy assistant secretary for population affairs (DASPA).
They called on President Bush to replace Orr with someone qualified and committed to family planning. The DASPA oversees Title X, the nation's family planning program, which provides high-quality family planning and preventive health care services to more than five million low-income individuals annually, helping prevent more than one million unintended pregnancies each year.
On the call with reporters, Cecile Richards said, Appointing Susan Orr to head the nations family planning program is like choosing a police chief who doesnt believe in fighting crime. This appointment is a nightmare for the 98 percent of women who use birth control at some point in their lives, as well as for their families.
Orr was formerly a senior director for marriage and family care at the Family Research Council, a political organization that opposes family planning. While in this role, Orr cheered the Bush administrations proposed elimination of the contraceptive coverage requirement from federal employees health insurance. Said Orr of the proposal, We're quite pleased because fertility is not a disease. It's not a medical necessity that you have [contraception].
"This appointment sends a message to women across this country: ideology trumps women's health in the Bush administration. That's why I am calling on the Bush administration to withdraw this nomination. The American people deserve a qualified public health expert who will serve women's health instead of serving an ideological and political agenda," said Senator Clinton.
Senator Patty Murray said, This is a position with serious responsibilities and we need a candidate with a serious commitment to women's health. What we don't need is another administration appointee that has a healthier respect for the president than for sound science.
Congresswoman Louise Slaughter remarked, We are offended and affronted time after time by the Bush administration in their treatment of women. We need to put a stop to this appointment.
This is an Alice in Wonderland moment where everything is topsy-turvy. You have an individual appointed to a position who oversees birth control who opposes federal involvement in birth control. This is a critical position that could influence pregnancy prevention and contraception. The appointment of Susan Orr does not move us forward in this effort, it takes us back centuries, said Congresswoman Diana DeGette.
Mary Jane Gallagher (NFPRHA) said, We need family planning services like comprehensive sex education, counseling, STD and cancer screenings as well as access to contraception. Low-income and uninsured men and women deserve to have Title X administered by someone who agrees that all these things are important to ensure that families are well prepared to have children.
Earlier this year, Bush appointed Eric Keroack, another anti-birth control extremist, for the same post. Keroack served as head of an organization called A Womans Concern, which boasted an anti-contraception policy on its website that declared birth control is demeaning to women. Planned Parenthood, along with 126 members of Congress, nearly 30 media outlets and 111,000 activists demanded Keroack be removed from this position. Keroack stepped down earlier this year amid Medicaid fraud allegations.
The Office of Population Affairs advises the secretary and the assistant secretary for health on "a wide range of reproductive health topics, including adolescent pregnancy, family planning, and sterilization, as well as other population issues," according to its website.

Authored by Dr. Gabriel Marcella.
+[War on Drugs] +[Colombia]
American strategy towards Colombia has shifted from a counternarcotics focus to more comprehensive support for that nation's security. This shift recognizes that Colombia's problems are deeply rooted and go beyond illegal narcotics. In the last year the Bush administration committed the United States to help Colombia defend democracy and to defeat the illegal armed groups of the left and right, doing so by promising to help that nation extend effective sovereignty over national territory and provide basic security to the people. The author identifies the strategic challenge of Colombia within the framework of the weak state and ungoverned space, made more complicated by the violence and corruption generated by the international organized criminals sustained by illegal drugs. He argues that the lessons learned in dealing with the security challenges that Colombia faces will have powerful consequences for the adaptation of American strategy to the conflict paradigm of the 21st century.

The wet vent portion should be 2"
It looks fine.
This is pretty straight-forward shower rough I dry fitted pending comments. I'm not sure if the the wet vent going to the lav is acceptable under IRC (NJ) with the 60 degree fitting. I rolled the combo up slightly above the drain centerline which I hope will be inspection. Thanks for your input.

According to his notations, the "wet vent" IS 2", but to use a 1/6 bend at the base, the branch should rise at a 30 degree angle which means the main line should be below the floor one half the distance of the branch line dimension to the 1/6 bend, and yours does NOT appear to be that deep, but it could be because of the way the picture was taken. If the angle is correct and not "cocked" in the fitting, then the inspector should pass it, unless he goes "by the book" and wants it at a 45 angle.
Licensed residential and commercial plumber
The vent is being washed by the lav. there is no need for it to rise at a 45.
Now that you've done all that cutting, you realize that you cannot reliably dry fit pvc piping? It is nearly impossible to bottom the pipe in a fitting unless you've added the cement (which melts the plastic and then 'welds' it together). So, unless you planned for that loss of 1/4-1/2" or so per joint, everything's going to be positioned wrong. At least the pipe is cheap...and you can reuse the fittings.
